10 % increased extraction of EVOO yield, 50 % reduced extraction time at Agioi Apostoloi (Video)

Have a look inside one of Greece’s most modern olive oil mills where we set up an OptiCEPT to help boost their production – with great results!

Agioi Apostoloi is a Greek olive oil cooperative serving 521 members. The cooperative currently has one of the most modern olive oil mills in Greece located in Vatika of Lakonia.

 

They produce about 1000 tons of extra virgin olive oil annually.

 

Check out the video below to learn more about how the OptiCept® Pulsed Electric Field system for olive oil pre-treatment works.

With the OptiCEPT LO7 installed the cooperative at Agioi Apostoloi managed to increase the production of EVOO by 10 %. They also managed to reduce the extraction time by 50 %.

OPTICEPT® deploys a pre-treatment to the olive paste. The pre-treatment is based on pulsed electric fields (PEF) that open the cell membranes of the olives with short but very powerful electrical pulses.

The cooperative’s mill is designed to produce high-quality EVOO and in any production facility that cares for extraction yield and increased quality OPTICEPT®  – is a natural part.
